Pogostemon cablin
A timeless base note with centuries of history in perfumery, ritual and craft, one of the most recognisable aromas in the natural oils world. Made from 100% pure Pogostemon cablin. For external use only.
About this oil
Six ways patchouli has earned its place across perfumery, craft and ritual, from ancient trade routes to modern skincare benches.
Perfumery & fixative
A classic base note that anchors lighter, more volatile oils and helps a fragrance last longer on skin. Blends beautifully with rose, jasmine, sandalwood, vetiver and citrus.
Skin & haircare crafting
A favourite among natural skincare and haircare makers, valued for its rich, warm base note in facial oils, creams and hair blends.
Meditation & ritual
Used for centuries in prayer and meditation across Asia. Its earthy, grounding aroma suits quiet, reflective spaces.
Home fragrance & ambience
Popular in diffusers, candles and incense for a warm, long-lasting atmosphere. A little goes a long way with pure patchouli oil.
Textile & wardrobe care
Historically packed with silks and shawls across Indonesia and India, patchouli was traditionally used to scent fabric and help protect stored textiles.
Traditional & cultural heritage
Native to Indonesia, India, China and the Philippines, with centuries of traditional use, and a defining scent of 1960s-70s counterculture in the West.

Up there with the best of them.
Beautiful aroma!

I bought this from a shop in Nimbin in December 2012. I have treasured it for years as it’s the best patchouli ever! I have spent big money on brands like doTerra but they don’t come close to this patchouli. I just found the old bottle and am so stoked to have found the website so I can buy more!
